Overview

Discover meditation without trying to meditate.

In a quiet traditional tatami room, simply lie down, close your eyes, and experience a private 60-minute Japanese Sound Bath. There is no posture to maintain, no breathing technique to follow, and no need to control your thoughts.

Rare Japanese instruments create layers of resonance and subtle vibrations around and through the body. As the body begins to relax, attention can naturally settle and the mind may become quieter.
This is a different approach to meditation—less about concentration and more about listening with your whole body.

Completely private, with no other guests, the experience offers a quiet pause from Kyoto’s busy streets and a chance to experience Japanese sensitivity to sound, silence, and space.

Highlights
• Private lying-down meditation for deep relaxation in a traditional tatami room
• 60-minute Japanese Sound Bath using rare Japanese instruments
• Experience sound and subtle vibrations through the whole body
